A word from the editor
Residing in North County is all about living the good life: Fresh air, friendly people and natural beauty at your front doorstep. Whether you're in Templeton, Atascadero or Paso Robles, one thing's for certain - a strong sense of community thrives.

North County Lifestyle is dedicated to informing, connecting and enlivening our readers with news and features fresh from the source.

This year is full of promise and North County Life wants to hear from you. We welcome your e-mails, calls and letters to the editor.

A new section will soon provide a venue for local voices to talk about upcoming events, school functions, community issues, service clubs
- just about anything buzzing here in the North County.

We look forward to hearing from you and have a happy, healthy New Year.
